Road closures: five for Rochdale drivers over the next fortnight

Drivers in and around Rochdale will have five National Highways road closures to watch out for this week.

And three of them are expected to cause delays of between 10 and 30 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:

• A627(M), from 9pm August 7 to 6am September 16, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M62 eastbound and westbound, jct 20 to 22 lane closures and carriageway closures due to resurfacing.

And a further four closures will begin over the next two weeks:

• M62, from 8pm September 11 to 6am September 12, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M62 eastbound and westbound, junction 22 to junction 23, Lane closures for general cleaning and maintenance.

• M60, from 9pm September 12 to 5am September 13, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M62 eastbound, jct 18 to 20 lane closures and slip road closure due to resurfacing.

• M62, from 9pm September 15 to 5am September 16, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M62 eastbound, junction 21 to junction 23, Lane closure for sign erection.

• A627(M), from 8.30pm September 23 to 5am September 27, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): A627M North and southbound, junction 1 - four carriageway closure due reconstruction works.

National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, so closures of smaller roads will not be included in their schedule.
